Book tapas catering in Sudbury

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up the pans and burners, and cook and serve without fuss. A summer drinks reception in Sudbury has daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer, perfect for canapés outdoors. By late September it’s dark around 7:05pm, and in December by about 3:55pm.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers and how you’d like the tapas served.
  2. We suggest a selection and confirm a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive, set up and finish the hot tapas on site.
  4. We serve canapés with drinks or set table tapas down to share.
  5. We clear away our equipment when service is finished.

Preparing for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Plan cover in case of rain

What affects the price in Sudbury

The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • The number of people
  • Parking and unloading
  • How many courses
  • Waiting and bar staff

Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
  • Expected numbers
  • Your date and when you want to eat

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

Most outdoor spaces and many venues work for live paella, but there are a few things to check:

  • Space for a serving table or station
  • Access to unload near the serving area
  • An area to prepare hot tapas

As a London location, Sudbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.
